Chapter 373: Changeless Change

A large crowd of ragged men, sitting or standing, wandering aimlessly, arrived at night, and as bright as it was today, it seemed all the more out of place in this place.

"This is the Temple of Heaven." Wang Zhi sighed with emotion, grabbed the furry collar, and looked forward to the end of this winter, "I didn't expect that the first time I came, I saw it like this." Alas. ”

"Wang Gong is lucky, people like us, if they want to enter the Temple of Heaven to watch the ceremony, I don't know how much luck they have accumulated in their lifetimes." Shang Ming smiled, his expression quite relaxed, "No matter what, there was no danger last night, and the two factories of the east and west were without merit." ”

"I haven't seen Your Majesty yet, I don't dare to feel at ease."

The two factory guards at the gate, each followed by a group of captains, tiptoeing to the altar in the middle, and did not dare to walk over without permission.

"It should be over, the immortals in the valley didn't come to make trouble, the red light of the Dan cave has disappeared, there are no dead people, there is no chaos, everything is normal, Your Majesty will probably have to take a rest."

Wang Zhi shook his head and frowned: "It's just too normal, that's why it's wrong." ”

"How?"

"The Dan Cave here looks quite similar to Yunyang Mansion, but when the Dan Cave of Yunyang Mansion disappeared, there were many dead and wounded, why didn't there even be a single injured person here?"

Shang Ming had never been to Yunyang Mansion, but he had heard the details, and said with a smile: "It was the Heavenly Machine Ship that killed and injured everyone, there is no ship here, of course there will be no casualties." ”

"Hmm." Wang Zhi still felt too calm, and tried to look towards the middle, but there was no movement on the altar.

Hundreds of people were running around, dressed not brightly, but they did not look like beggars, arresting people everywhere and questioning them, and letting them go after asking.

Seeing this, the two factory directors did not like it in their hearts, looked at each other, and immediately called the accompanying school officers and ordered them to inquire about the situation.

The two groups of lieutenants dispersed quickly, trying to scramble for news as quickly as possible, so that their factory officials would have a bright face. The whole night was uneventful, which is a lot of credit.

As soon as the captains left, Dongchang Baihu Zuo stepped forward and arched his hand: "As far as my subordinates know, those people are all disciples of the Five Elements Sect, and they agreed with Gu Zhong Immortal to produce five strangers last night, Gu Zhong Immortal missed the appointment, they were very dissatisfied, probably looking for someone everywhere to settle accounts." ”

Shang Ming laughed and said to Wang Zhi: "There is still such a stupid person? Mo said that hundreds of captains of the two factories were intercepted here, even if there was no guard, it was impossible for Gu Zhongxian to make them aliens, right? ”

Wang Zhi hummed coldly, turned his head to look at his captain, and made a silent accusation.

The captains were silent, and some people regretted in their hearts, the deal between the Five Elements Sect and Gu Zhongxian was not a secret, and they also knew it, but they didn't deliver it in time, and they lost a lot of credit.

The captain who went to inquire about the news quickly returned, and the captain of the West Factory took the lead, but it was only one step, and the captain of the East Factory followed closely behind, and the answer given was consistent with what Zuo Yu said.

"What does Wang Gong think? Do you want to be expelled? Shang Ming asked, although he was much older and had many contradictions behind his back, he wanted to show respect on the surface.

Wang Zhi is young after all, and he likes to get flattery from others, so he immediately said: "Arrest them all, close them for a few days, and then talk about them, how about catching half of the east and west factories?" ”

Shang Ming said with a smile: "The East Factory will guard the door of the West Factory." ”

Wang Zhi snorted, despised Shang Ming's timidity and fear, and ordered his school officer: "Arrest all the people of the Five Elements Sect." ”

The school officials were more cautious, looking at each other, and Wei Ying stepped forward and whispered: "There are hundreds of people, it is not easy to arrest and detain, and it will make a lot of noise......"

Wang Zhi glared, Wei Ying didn't dare to say more, bowed back, and went with other school officials to gather the people from the West Factory and enter the venue to arrest people.

The arrest caused a riot, and the people of the Five Elements Sect were not convinced, and those eunuchs even complained, "Who asked you to arrest people?" This is a place of worship for the gods, and mortals can only watch from the sidelines, not ...... Hey, even I dare to catch it? Do you know who will be in power in the palace in the future? ”

The West Factory is the West Factory after all, the school captains are all from Jinyiwei, no one really dares to confront them, their mouths are not convinced, but their hands and feet are honest, and soon, hundreds of disciples and more than a dozen eunuchs who are too arrogant were escorted out of the Temple of Heaven and sent to the city for prison.

After waiting all night, there was finally something to do, Wang Zhi was a little satisfied, but the sun was rising higher and higher, and the altar still did not move, which made him very annoyed, and muttered in a low voice: "I thought this kid could make some trouble......

The people who are more impatient than the Xichang factory are those divine servants, last night's ceremony was grand and spectacular enough, but there is not even a shadow of the rumored step to the sky.

The eunuchs took the lead, and the servants gradually gathered in the direction of the altar, and no one dared to go up, but they all gathered below, shouting loudly, hoping for an explanation.

The emperor was on the altar, although he couldn't see anyone, the east and west factories were very nervous, and hurriedly summoned the captains, slowly surrounded him, and kept a distance of dozens of steps from the divine servants.

Wang Zhi regretted a little at this time, he sent a lot of people to escort the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, and now there are far fewer subordinates who can be called on than Dongchang, in case there is really an accident, Xichang can't help much.

He would not admit his mistake, but quietly ordered Wei Ying to go out and transfer troops.

There was finally movement on the altar.

Prince Dan walked to the edge, looking tired, and his voice had lost its former brightness, so he had to wave his hands for a long time to quiet the noisy crowd.

"Everyone, you can disperse."

"What? Dispersed? Where are they gone? When are we going to enter the palace? A eunuch asked loudly.

Prince Dan squeezed out a smile on his face, "The Divine Ship has its own arrangements, the Divine Ship will not pull everyone out at once, the Divine Ship has injected the fortune into each of you's body, as little as three days, as much as a year, it will inevitably appear." All you have to do is wait patiently......"

"A year? Who can afford to wait? Another eunuch said disappointedly.

Prince Dan stared at this person, and the smile on his face disappeared, "Since you are suspicious of the Divine Ship, why do you want to participate in the ceremony?" ”

The eunuch was shocked and hurriedly said: "I don't doubt it, I believe it, I believe it completely." ”

"But your luck is decreasing, and every time you doubt it, you will decrease it by one point, and you will wait until it is low to be ......"

The eunuch knelt down and kowtowed, slapping himself a few times.

After him, no one dared to question it.

"Wait for the good news." Prince Dan couldn't hold on for long, "From today on, everything you have experienced is given by the divine ship, and the fortune has been planted in your body, those who believe in it will be blessed, and those who do not believe will be in disaster, and you will see it again in a year, everything is as God wills." ”

The servants of the gods knelt down and kowtowed in pieces, then got up and left the Temple of Heaven, and walked through the middle with a swagger without seeing the group of Jinyi Satellite TV.

The captains of the two factories had never suffered such contempt, but the factory officials did not speak, so they could only endure it.

"Is that Prince Dan, or is it Zhang Yi?" Shang Ming asked.

"Prince Dan is ......" Wang Zhi came to his senses, Prince Dan is a stranger, but Zhang Yi is a mortal, he doesn't like this way of questioning very much, and said coldly: "It seems to be Zhang Yi." ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and even with a few hundred captains, the huge Temple of Heaven seemed empty.

"Shall we wait here, or shall we go up and have a look?" Shang Ming asked.

Wang Zhi will not be fooled again, "I think the two factories should act separately, and no one needs to ask anyone." ”

Shang Ming smiled, "Then wait a little longer." ”

"Where is Immortal Li gone?" Wang Zhi said in wonder, as soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

Li Zi Province finally appeared, followed by dozens of Taoist priests.

Seeing him, the two factory fathers finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to meet him, but before the two of them could speak, Li Zixing waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Li Zisheng walked out of the road, changed his mind, stopped and turned around, and said to the Taoist priests, "You stay here. He also said to Wang Zhi and Shang Ming: "Please ask the two factory fathers to go to the altar with me." ”

The two were waiting for this invitation, Wang Zhi moved faster, ran to Li Zixing first, and arched his hand: "Li ......"

"Let's talk about it on the altar." Li Zi Province led the way, and the three of them hurriedly bypassed a section of the altar and walked up the steps.

When the real sacrifice to the heavens, the altar has its own arrangement, but now it is empty, there is no decoration, only a few people, and a big hole in the middle, last night there was a red light in the hole, which is breathtaking.

Wang Zhi couldn't care so much, ran at the front, and saw the emperor sitting on the ground at a glance, a hurry, kneeling in front of the emperor, his mouth had not yet opened, and tears had flowed first, "Your Majesty ......"

The emperor shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to listen to nonsense now, raised his eyes to look at Li Zixing, and said weakly: "Li, Li Xian is ......."

Li Zi Province also knelt down, "How does Your Majesty feel?" ”

The emperor had a stutter, and when he was in a hurry, it was even more difficult to speak, and his face turned red.

Zhang Yi stepped forward and knelt beside the emperor, "Why did Immortal Li come?" ”

"I'm waiting for the Valley Immortal, but he hasn't appeared."

"It is rumored that Gu Zhongxian is coming to compete for divine power, doesn't Immortal Li know?"

"Yes, so I'm waiting for him outside, if he shows up on time, it means that the rumors are not true, if he comes to make trouble, it means that he has a ghost in his heart, but he never showed up - did anyone see him?"

Several people shook their heads, and Wang Zhi preemptively said: "We watched very closely last night, and after the ceremony began, there was no entry and exit, and no one made trouble." ”

Zhang said: "There is no accident on the altar, but ......"

"But what?" Li Zixing immediately asked.

"Before dawn, we fainted for a while, and when we woke up like this, the ceremony was over, but Your Majesty ...... No change. ”

Li Zixing was shocked, speechless for a while, and his eyes turned to Qiu Lianshi, "You are Gu Zhongxian's follower." ”

Qiu Lianshi sat on the ground, as weak as the emperor, and said with a smile: "Gu Zhongxian has even given up on the Wen family, and he still wants me as a follower?" ”

Li Zixing's gaze turned to Li Xingtian, who was lying on the ground and did not move, "He ......"

Zhang Yi shook his head and whispered: "He can't accept it for a while, but it's okay." ”

Li Zixing didn't care about Li Xingtian, and his eyes finally looked at Luo Shi, who was the only one standing.

Luo Che was in a daze with the wind, sensing that there was a gaze staring at him, and smiled slightly, "So everyone is mortal?" You don't have to look for it, the immortals in the valley have either monopolized the divine power, or they have also become mortals, and the real beneficiaries are others. ”

Li Zixing didn't want to believe it, kowtowed to the emperor, and climbed to the edge of the cave, "What's the situation below?" ”

"No one has gone down yet, let's ...... I don't have any strength. Zhang Yi replied on his behalf.

"Gotta find someone to go down and take a look, after all...... There are still people down there. Li Zi was very cautious and did not mention the crown prince, although everyone present already knew the truth.

Shang Ming took the lead this time, "I'll send someone down immediately." ”

Li Zixing shook his head, "The matter is confidential, and you can't send people at will." ”

Wang Zhi said: "I'll go down." Then he crawled to the mouth of the cave.

The stakes are so high that Li Zi Province did not dare to retreat, "I will go too." This is not the entrance, let's go down from the other place. Trouble Shang Gong is waiting for His Majesty here. ”

Wang Zhi and Li Zixing knelt down and retreated a few steps, got up and went down the altar, found the small hole by the altar, and couldn't find a long enough rope for a while, Wang Zhi jumped first, and Li Zisheng followed and entered the passage.

The underground was dark, and the two of them cautiously groped their way forward, and it took a long time to reach the bottom of the Dan cave, and when they looked up, they saw a mess in the cave with the help of sunlight, and there were two corpses, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Wang Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to a alcove, "There's still a corpse there!" ”

The "corpse" moved at this moment, then yawned.
